Leaching is a chemical process in mining for extracting valuable minerals from the ore. Leaching also takes place in nature where the rocks are dissolved by water. Post leaching, the rocks areleft with smaller proportion of minerals that they originally contained.

A slurry of ground ore, water and a weak cyanide solution is fed into large steel leach tanks where the gold and silver are dissolved. Following this leaching process the slurry passes through six adsorption tanks containing carbon granules which adsorb the gold and silver. This process removes 93% of the gold and 70% of the silver.
Acid mine drainage (also sometimes referred to as acid rock drainage) is a wellunderstood process2 and arises primarily when the mineral pyrite (fools gold or iron disulphide) comes into contact with oxygenated water. The pyrite undergoes oxidation in a twostage process, the
#0183;#32;A mineral acid or inorganic acid is any acid derived from an inorganic compound that dissociates to produce hydrogen ions (H +) in acids are highly soluble in water but tend to be insoluble in organic solvents. The inorganic acids are corrosive.

Mining and mineralprocessing industries producing lithium minerals, metals, and salts contribute to the lithium burden in the environment. The processing of lithiumcontaining minerals such as spodumene, in general, comprises crushing, wet grinding in a ball mill, sizing, gravity concentration, and flotation using a fatty acid (oleic acid) as the collector.
Finding and Mining Minerals. Geologic processes create and concentrate minerals that are valuable natural resources. Geologists study geological formations and then test the physical and chemical properties of soil and rocks to locate possible ores and determine their size and concentration. A mineral deposit will only be mined if it is profitable.
Summary. Acid mine drainage (AMD) refers to the outflow of acidic water from a mining site. In most cases, this acid comes primarily from oxidation of iron sulfide (FeS2, also known as pyrite or quot;fool''s goldquot;), which is often found in conjunction with valuable metals. Acid mine drainage is a major problem with many hardrock mines, including almost all mines where the metal ore is bound up with
Jump to: navigation., search. Insitu Recovery (ISR), also known as insitu leaching (ISL) or solution mining, is a mineral extraction method where ore is dissolved by a lixiviant, leached and pumped to surface. The primary minerals extracted using ISR include: copper, uranium, water

#0183;#32;Acid activated clay mineral is prepared by washing or treating the clay mineral with mineral acids such as sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) or hydrochloric acid (HCl) at an intended acid strength. During acid activation of clay minerals, the reaction variables that control the final acid activated clay mineral products are temperature, reaction duration, and concentration of the acid.
#0183;#32;Phosphoric acid is also produced in large quantities and, together with other products of phosphate mining, has many uses in industrial chemistry. After the mining and extraction processes have been completed, the resulting waste products must be dealt with.

#0183;#32;According to Abraitis et al. (2004) on acid leaching and dissolution of major sulfides ore mineral process and galvanic effect on complex system, it was concluded that the rate of acid dissolution of metal sulphide in mixed mineral system can be dramatically affected by galvanic effects with rates increasing by factor as great as 30 times in some cases and that the combination of
metal mining, sulfuric acid is used to leach copper oxide minerals. In one process, a solution of sulfuric acid laden with copper sulfate is stripped of copper via a solvent extraction and electro winning with the used sulfuric acid recycled back into the process.
